Mighty and Brennon practice what they think of as 'exemplary behavior' but still end up in cat behavior school. While at school, Mighty begins to hear strange buzzing sounds coming from the outdoors. These sounds are ominous to Mighty and he later learns that they come from a machine called Vacuum Man which was first seen at the VIP kitty competition. The machine destroys almost anything on its path, and no one knows how to stop it. No one can figure out who Vacuum Man is.

I loved the lists that Mighty made in his head and the humorous parts. Seeing the descriptions of the pictures helped me visualize things in my head. Overall, I thought this was a very cute and humorous story that I enjoyed from beginning to end." - Cynthia"I found quite a few lines which were really hilarious, but I guess my favorite of all is, "I learned that it's best not to get into arguments, debates, or quarrels on a spaceship because once you start arguing there's no way out. Literally."Mighty is outspoken, dreamy, and reckless while Brennan is quiet, logical, and calculates his actions. As they were trying to build a rocket, I identified with Mighty's frustration and when they went to Jupiter, I felt both Mighty's bravery and excitement and Brennan's eagerness to stay logical despite these strong emotions. Overall, I think this is a really hilarious and humorous (in a really good way) story. It's also very creative and because of that, it is worth the read for both cat and non-cat lovers." - CarlaAlexis Cleoford's Real Hamsters Don't Bite is nominated for Readers Choice Award by TCK Publishing

If you like cats as I do, you have perhaps thought about the possibility that they have a mysterious power of communicating with humans simply by staring into your eyes. Every cat has their own personality, and some seem to read your mind, even to the point of being creepy. I never thought my cats were creepy, but they definitely expose the window to their soul when they stare into my eyes. I suppose all they really want is to be fed and petted, but sometimes it seems like it’s a lot more than just that. Cat lovers know exactly what I’m referring to. So the next time you have your cat on your lap, look deep into their eyes, and I think you will see way beyond just their eyes. Just like Jupiter.
